Murray beats me to it.
Time of death for Clark the future fomer second woman PM of New Zealand… the instant she started talking about deporting the editor of the countries most left leaning paper by saying:
“No one’s talking about deporting the editor of the New Zealand Herald for goodness sake.”
You.just.did.
Thnxby.
Funny choice of words that - [...]

Hat Tip: WhaleOil.
One of the more obscure reasons I have a blog is so I have a place where I can put stuff like this for future reference.
Ah, the good old days. When Labour was on the right, and Helen still had reason to think she’d become New Zealand’s first woman PM.

Boy, this video is something. Can we get this onto youtube?
Update: Amost as good, I was able to pull screenshots.
The clip shows quite clearly that while the other guests were doing this….
Our PM was doing this. Looks like she might even have bought it along specially!

I heard the PM talk on Morning Report this morning, and I’d have to say that “strong hint” is an apt description given the biases of that station. More truthfully, she failed to promise to not steal again.
But remember, this is the woman who said banning smacking would be “against human nature” only to vote [...]

Helen is so annoyed that people disturbed her that she’s threatening to abuse her power and change the law to suit herself.
So what’s new?
Helen Clark said the noise of fireworks in her home suburb of Mt Eden was horrific on Saturday night.
“Last night in my suburb, I felt as if I was in downtown Kandahar [...]

1) Nice to see Mike King in full fledged “Attack Labour” mode on the news tonight. For those who didn’t see, Mike laid out a very clear opinion that the arrests were caused by Labour trying to get ahead in the polls by Maori bashing.
2) National Radio reported this morning that Bainimarama was greeted [...]

The Prime Minister is targeting wastage of taxpayers money.
The Independent obtained Paris hotel records that it said showed up to 39 people in the official tour party.
“They can’t be all physiotherapists, can they?” Clark said.
The trip had cost taxpayers, she said.
“Clearly, if it was sponsored by Air New Zealand, that is in effect free seats [...]

Richard Long makes some good points:
But now that the Muldoon comparison has been made – and Mr Moore has been flayed for daring to make it – there are other aspects of the dying days of the Muldoon era which have some relevance to Labour’s predicament today.
By 1984 the electorate had turned off from National. [...]

TVNZ has a story on their site about the Air NZ issues today. However, this isn’t what made it onto the news tonight.
Air New Zealand is upset Clark revealed the Honiara-bound flight, complaining it breached an agreement to keep commercial information secret.
But a spokesman for Clark says Air New Zealand never spoke directly to her [...]

Mike Moore, the one on the left, the fat one, the ugly one that shaves that is, has spilt his guts on Helen Clark. Boy, and how.
Helen Clark is superb at it, she’s destroyed more National leaders than any other Labour leader. Come to think about it, she’s dispatched more Labour leaders than anyone else [...]

From the Herald:
“The problem is if you’re going to totally clamp down on anonymous donations - which I’d be very happy to see - you do need some quid pros quos,” the Prime Minister said.
“Because the Labour Party isn’t led by me with a $50 million bank account.”
She said the Labour Party had support from [...]

The great and glorious dear leader of our nation, the most magnificent and gracious the world has ever known (aside from the small matter of tossing aside various aspects of government critical to free and democratic society) who graces our country with her benevolent presence, (casting her shadow on all that is great and [...]

Is someone actually seriously suggesting there is meaning in this government?
There’s zero integrity - no standard of behaviour means anything. We’ve had bribery, assault, misleading the house, prima facie criminal cases made… none of which have led to the expulsion of ministers from cabinet in recent years.)
We’ve had complete backflips on so many positions, including [...]

A lot of people have noticed that Labour does not actually answer question in the house any more. It’s been one of those things on my “to do” list to actually go back and see if things have changed, and I finally got around to it today. (Thanks Whaleoil)
Compare Helen’s answers today to a random [...]

Chavez has shut down the main private TV company, but it’s ok because they were opposed to him and his revolution:
Mr Chavez says that private stations like RCTV were involved in a coup that nearly toppled him five years ago and that they have since actively tried to bring down his government.
Sort of like Helen [...]
